I did the same, froze the races then heated the wheel with a propane torch
.=C2- The races will only need a tap with a hammer and block of wood.=C2
- Totally easy

I'd say about any good wheel shop should be able to press in the new races;
but, it's not really a big deal to do them, yourself.=C2- As old as I am
, I replaced a set, last year.=C2- After I got over the sticker shock of
the FAA approved bearings and races from Van's, I order mine from another s
ource for less than half of Van's price.=C2- I knocked out the old races
using a hammer and brass punch.=C2- It doesn't matter if the race is a li
ttle messed up, as long as the wheel isn't.=C2- To install the new races,
I put the races in the freezer for a while, until I needed each one for in
stallation.=C2- I used a plastic hammer around the race to nudge it into
place.=C2- Then, I kept working the hammer around the race until I got it
almost all the way in.=C2- Then, the brass punch came out, again.=C2-
Each race took just a few minutes to do; and, all have been working well, s
ince installed.
=C2-
I hope this makes it.=C2- I haven't posted on RV-list in several years.
=C2- I still have my RV-6A.=C2- =C2-=C2-

Subject: RV-List: Looking for a shop to replace wheel bearing races
Folks,
=C2-
I have a spare set of wheels that I got used from a long-ez.
I have purchased the replacement parts from Vans and would like to have the
new bearing cups pressed in professionally.
=C2-
Would like a local shop (DelMarVa peninsula) but willing to mail them off t
o a recommended shop.
=C2-
Thoughts please,
Ralph Capen
